Question 3 Best Technology (BT) is a leading manufacturer of adhesives used in a variety of industrial applications. BT produces two types of industrial adhesives in its Texas plant for the US market. The two types of adhesives are produced using the same production technology and equipment. They have identical characteristics except their adhesive strengths which are determined by the last production step of mixing with different chemicals. The demands for the two types of adhesives are independent and their weekly demands in the US distribution centre (DC) are approximately normally distributed with their means and standard deviations given below. Adhesives Type I Adhesive Type II Adhesive Mean (kg) Standard Deviation (kg) 9,000 10,000 4,000 3,000 The replenishment lead time of the adhesives from BT's manufacturing plant to the US DC is 4 weeks. The current adhesive production cost is $100/kg, the cost of shipping the adhesive from the plant to the DC is $20,000, and the annual…
Question 1: Market planning, Inc. a marketing research firm, has obtained the prescription sales data for 20 independent pharmacies (attached). In this table y is the average weekly prescription sales over the past year (in units of $1,000), x1 is the floor space (in square feet), x2 is the percentage of floor space allocated to the prescription department, x3 is the number of parking spaces available to the store, x4 is the weekly per capita income for the surrounding community (in units of $100), and x5 is a dummy variable that equals 1 if the pharmacy is located in a shopping center and 0 otherwise. Regress average weekly prescription sales against different combinations of the independent variables. What is the best model? Discuss what the parameter coefficients say about prescription sales.
